| 'My Favorite Dog': Dueling Rhymers
Check out his rhyme on the posting about least favorite dog below. I'll post it tomorrow. 5:57 p.m. It's been awhile since I provided you with a blogging term from samizdata. So, here's one -- bloggerel: "Opinion put forward on a blog that has previously been repeated over and over and over again until it makes people sick." Sentence: Flame-throwers from both the Left and the Right often are guilty of bloggerel. 3:01 p.m. Gotta call from an oldtimer from Spokane who believes Hillary Clinton faked fainting during a speech in Buffalo today to upstage the successful Iraqi vote here. Amazing, but true. 1:46 p.m. Wheerrrre's Rick-O? Eagle Eye writes: "I think it bodes well that you are attracting all kinds of readers. Dont be offended by this but it reminds me of Rick Miller on the radio side.

USC freshman puts on show for UW faithful
Moments before tipoff Thursday night at Hec Edmundson Pavilion, the Dawg Pack unleashed a predictable "Hold the Mayo" chant. If only it were that easy. Ovinton J'Anthony Mayo, better known as USC freshman phenom O.J. Mayo, spent the next two hours befuddling a Huskies men's basketball team desperately seeking a breath of life in this rugged Pac-10 season. Mayo, the prize of last year's national prep recruits, poured in 29 points against Washington, 20 in the first half alone, as the Trojans rolled to a 73-59 win. The 6-foot-5 guard dropped in 3-pointers, slammed home a breakaway dunk, went behind his back in traffic for a lay-in and, oh yeah, played pretty good defense in his spare time. For the Huskies, it was the latest onslaught endured from an opposing star, following a 33-point night from Cal's Ryan Anderson, a 31-point effort from Stanford's Brook Lopez and a 26-point showing by Arizona freshman Jerryd Bayless.
Bugs on the menu at UN meeting in Thailand Áp¦X°ê ...
Insects were on the menu last week at a UN meeting in Thailand. At the meeting experts talked about the dietary value of bugs, which are delicacies in some countries. Eating bugs is limited to gross-out TV shows in many countries. But the UN Food and Agriculture Organization says that 1,400 insect species are eaten around the world. Among the most popular insect munchies are beetles, ants, bees, crickets and moths. Bugs can be nutritious, sometimes offering as much protein as meat and fish. The three-day meeting in Chiang Mai was organized to look at how nutritious insects are. Scientists at the meeting said not enough is known about most edible forest insects. Farming insects could provide new sources of income for rural populations. Thailand, where 200 insect species are eaten by humans, would benefit greatly.
THE TORTURE MYTH
Linked to numerous terror plots, he is believed to have financed the first World Trade Center bombing, helped set up the courier system that resulted in the infamous Bali bombing, and cut off Danny Pearl's head. A second was Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, the head of al Qaeda operations in the Persian Gulf. He allegedly played a role in the 2000 millennium terror plots and was the mastermind behind the USS Cole attack, which killed 17 Americans. The third was Abu Zubaydah, said to be Osama bin Laden's top man after Ayman al Zawahri and al Qaeda's chief logistics operative. It is believed that Zubaydah essentially ran al Qaeda's terror camps and recruitment operations. After he was waterboarded, Zubaydah reportedly offered intelligence officers a treasure trove of critical information.
